In this work, a selective methane gas sensor was prepared based on In 2 O 3 to eliminate the serious cross-sensitive sensitivity to VOCs, NO 2 , and CO, which are typical interfering gases for methane detection in domestic. The catalytic films of Pt-TiO 2 , Pt-CeO 2 , and Pt-ZrO 2 were placed on the top of the sensing layer, i.e., In 2 O 3 loaded with Pd. Catalytic films were designed as filters to catalytically oxidize the interfering gases, such as VOCs, to prevent them reaching the surface of the sensitive layers. Thanks to this design, our sensors showed a high selectivity to methane, even in the presence of ethanol, CO, and NO 2 . In addition, we confirmed via the power-law response of oxygen that the basic sensing mechanism between Pd-In 2 O 3 and the sensor-printed catalytic films are kept the same. Both follow the general model with MOS sensors, which involves an electron transfer process resulting from the adsorption of oxygen on the surface and interaction with methane molecules. The present study showed that catalytic filter films (Pt-TiO 2 , Pt-CeO 2 , and Pt-ZrO 2 ) printed on Pd-In 2 O 3 sensors could enhance the selective response to methane for methane monitoring.

Soil fumigation using 1,3-dichloropropene (1,3-D) and chloropicrin (CP) is an important strategy for agriculture production; however, excessive emissions can cause air pollution and possible human exposure. In this study, solar light-driven CuInS 2 /ZnS:Al-TiO 2 photocatalytic film was prepared through spin-coating on the flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate of 0.1 mm. Using the photocatalytic film, degradation of 1,3-D was inhibited in the Pci-clor 60 formulation of 1,3-D and CP. However, the degradation of CP was accelerated in this formulation, and the half-life was shortened from 0.66 to 0.40 h. Emissions of 1,3-D from soil to the air were reduced by 97.30%, 97.17%, 47.10%, and 7.88%, for treatments of D + Film, D + C + Film, D + PET, and D, respectively. The efficiencies for reducing 1,3-D emission were significantly improved by about 1.1 and 11.3 times using the film, compared with using the PET alone and no film, respectively. Furthermore, fumigation effects on nematodes could still achieve higher than 90%. The findings provided a basis for the practical application of quantum dot films to reduce soil fumigants emissions by photocatalytic degradation.

We report a simple approach for fabricating flexible, free-standing, catalytic films composed of graphene oxide/carbon nanotube–Au (GO/CNT–Au) composites by using a one-pot chemical reduction route. The catalyst film was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and Raman spectroscopy to investigate the morphology, crystalline structure of the composites. The layered structure of the catalyst film is porous, flexible and exhibits excellent catalytic property in the reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) to 4-aminophenol (4-AP) reaction. This study demonstrate here for simple yet effective synthesis of catalyst film with a number of advantages such as good strength, high stability, easy operation, and good reusability with minimal loss of activity.
